[Verse 1]
Well, I guess the third time's not a charm
Nursing a three times broken heart
I'm down the rabbit hole again
I put myself in another world
Where I can be any other girl
'Cause I don't really wanna face it

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause, if it isn't real, you can pretend all you want
It's all you'll ever need
"That's not healthy", they said, "To live in your head"
But it hurts a lot less to me

[Chorus]
I fall in love with boys I see on a TV screen
The ones in books who are as perfect as they can be
I spend all of my time imagining what it would be like if they existed
My parents tell me I should look for one in real life
But I get let down by both the bad boys and the nice guys
I'm tired of giving more than I receive
So, I'll just stick to the boys who don't know me

[Verse 2]
Oh, I hit his number, I almost called
Like, maybe he's hurting after all
I can't afford to be that naïve
I'll just keep wishing it was me in that ending scene
Where they're meeting up halfway and they're kissing in the rain
It's a little bit cliché but I love it anyway
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it's better than when you're walking home
And the rain starts pouring but you're all alone

[Chorus]
I fall in love with boys I see on a TV screen
The ones in books who are as perfect as they can be
I spend all of my time imagining what it would be like if they existed
My parents tell me I should look for one in real life
But I get let down by both the bad boys and the nice guys
I'm tired of giving more than I receive
So, I'll just stick to the boys who don't know me

[Bridge]
(Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh) I'd rather keep on dreaming of someone I'll never meet
(Oh-oh, oh) Than give love to another one who won't choose me
(Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh) I'd rather keep on dreaming of someone I'll never meet
(Oh-oh, oh) Than give love to another one who won't choose me

[Chorus]
I fall in love with boys I see on a TV screen
The ones in books who are as perfect as they can be
I spend all of my time imagining what it would be like if they existed
My parents tell me I should look for one in real life (Oh-oh, oh)
But I get let down by both the bad boys and the nice guys (Oh-oh, oh)
I'm tired of giving more than I receive (Oh-oh, oh)
So I'll just stick to the boys who don't know me
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh
(Oh-oh, oh) I'm tired of giving more than I receive (Oh-oh, oh)
So I'll just stick to the boys who don't know me
